There is a rather nice picture of a lady playing what looks like a bandora -
The Joyful reunion by Jan Massys.
Ladies playing these instruments are definitely photogenic. It's a pity I
can't post a picture of myself in a similar pose!

There is another lady guitarist in the collection ("Musical scene: La
Guitare" 2003.2487) in which the engraver "got it right". Or is the
second
one in fact a lefty??

The lady playing the guitar is printed from an engraving and the engraver
may have got her the wrong way round!

At least some of Bob Spencer's collection is now in the library of the
Royal Academy of Music in London. You can access their catalogue on

Really interesting. Had a quick look. Some pics of some of his
instruments. Lots of fascinating engravings: like this good-looking
lute

Dear Luca
RISM lists this, which might be what you mean:
Woodfor Green, privatbibliothek Robert Spencer Ms. ohne Signature (I)
It's a MS that used to be in the private library of Robert Spencer
(where did Bob's books go, Royal College?), before that in the private
libary of A. Cortot.
French tab, 6 lines, for lute, and 5 lines for Mandora. Ca 1720.
It has a stamp on folio 1r: Bohush
Sorry, no help, really.

Dear collective wisdom,
I am looking for more information about the Bohush manuscript.
In the "32 Easy Pieces for Baroque Lute", edited by Anthony Bailes for
Tree Edition a number of pieces have been included from a "Bohush"
manuscript, without any further detail. The Chaconne is beautiful.
Any body out there knowing more about this manuscript?
Thank you in advance to you all,
Luca
